In this paper, we propose an easy and convenient method for traffic monitoring based on acoustic sensing with vehicle sound recorded by an ad-hoc microphone array. Since signals recorded by an ad-hoc microphone array are asynchronous, we perform channel synchronization by compensating for the difference between the start and the end of the recording and the sampling frequency mismatch. To monitor...
The recently-standardized Precision Time Protocol v2 (PTPv2) aims at achieving sub-microsecond-level synchronization between network clocks. In this work, we make the case for an alternative use of it: Adopting a learning approach, we observe its delay behavior during the protocol message exchange, derive models of its dependence on network load and build a real-time load estimation service. Then,...
This paper presents a continuous and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring system, which can measure the blood pressure without the use of a inflatable cuff. A wearable IEEE 802.15.4-based Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) composed by a photoplethysmographic (PPG) sensor node located on the forehead, and an electrocardiographic sensor node located on the chest, is used to measure the propagation...
In this work we describe a methodology to estimate one-way packet loss from IPFIX or NetFlow flow records collected at two monitoring points. The proposed method does not require tight synchronization between the two monitoring points, nor it relies upon external routing information. It can run online or offline, and can work on legacy IPFIX/NetFlow traces which were not collected for the specific...
Localization services are one of the most important services provided by wireless sensor networks. In this paper, a relative-localization identification of random deployed non-anchored nodes will be presented. Based on relative RSSI information, the system can identify which sensor nodes are placed in locations planned on map. The method can let user put any nodes anywhere (random distributed), and...
The Thevenin impedance seen at a load bus is an important parameter for power system planning and operation. This paper presents a new algorithm to track the impedance parameters online. The algorithm uses the natural variations of loads connected to substations for impedance estimation. It neither depends on the load model nor requires synchronized measurements. The input data are several seconds...
Recently, lots of work investigated the geometry features, synchronization and control of complex dynamical networks provided with certain topology. But in the real life, the exact topology of a network is often uncertain. In this paper, a new approach for approximately identifying the topology of a complex network is proposed based on the state observer design only using a scalar coupling signal...
In this paper, we present a new technique to improve the reliability of H-tree SRAM memories. This technique deals with the SRAM power-bus monitoring by using built-in current sensor (BICS) circuits that detect abnormal current dissipation in the memory power-bus. This abnormal current is the result of a single-event upset (SEU) in the memory and it is generated during the inversion of the state of...
The underwater target localization problem is one important application for underwater acoustic sensor networks. This paper, based on "underwater acoustic transmission theory", solves the target localization problem. The proposed algorithm firstly studies the principle of underwater acoustics and applies it to set up the model of underwater signal energy transmission. According to the model,...
As Grid networks grows, the complexity of resource management in Grid networks dramatically increases. To manage the Grid resources efficiently, policy based resource management system is suitable. However, the policy which made at a moment could not be appropriate to other time because the condition of the grid resources with time space changes. Thus, in this paper, we propose asynchronous policy-based...
